Guest Presenter, Megan Salar

LCSW, ACADC, CCTP-II, EMDR-C, a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in treating trauma and addiction.

This 1-hour EMDR webinar explores *adaptive strategies for working with clients on the Autism Spectrum (ASD)*, focusing on how to tailor EMDR’s eight phases to meet neurodivergent needs while preserving fidelity to the model. Participants will learn how sensory sensitivities, language processing differences, and social-cognitive variations influence EMDR readiness, targeting, and reprocessing.

The session highlights *practical modifications* that enhance engagement, safety, and attunement—such as visual anchors, structured pacing, alternative bilateral stimulation methods, and cognitive interweaves that support concrete thinking. Case examples will illustrate how to maintain connection, manage over-intellectualization, and utilize parts and regulation work to strengthen adaptive networks.
